Not beta-ed and quickly re-read so sooooorryyyyy for all the horrible mistakes :/
Disclaimer: the title of the chapter is taken from the lyrics of 'Invincible ' 3 , by Muse
Summary: Matthew and Dominic keep dealing with the situation …who is going to win?
Chapter XX: Don't give up the fight
The next morning, around noon, Matthew wakes up, feeling a slight weight on his lap.
Looking down, he realizes that it's nothing but Dominic's head, who is still sleeping soundly.
As he was watching over the blond, Matt fell asleep sitting with his back against the wall, close to the drummer who, on dawn, pulling on the chains until as far as he could, managed to get that oh so painfully craved contact.
Matthew strokes his hair gently, a touch that is too much light for the other one to wake up.
But Matt entrusts that task to the kiss on his lips that follows within a few minutes, then he wraps his lover in his arms.
Dominic squeezes his eyes several times, before opening them. The darkness envelops them completely, since there are several thick curtains that are scattered throughout the house, in order to protect them from the rays of sun since now situation would be lethal to the two lovers, but, as it is easy to guess, the blond can see his mate with great ease.
"Matthew." he murmurs, smiling sweetly, still a little sleepy.
He tries to stretch out, but this makes him stretch the chains over the allowed limit, thereby preventing him from such a spontaneous movement. This is enough to remind him of the state in which he is.
Immediately after, Dom no longer feels the soft embrace of his beloved to comfort him, but only the cold floor, but the clank of keys that turn in the locks gives him the answer about the brunet's temporary absence.
"I do not know about you, baby, but I slept like crap!" the singer says, going back to him and also freeing the last chain that imprisons him.
Without even time to reply, the drummer feels himself lift in the guitarist's arms.
"I guess that we deserve some proper rest, don't you think so?" Matt winks, climbing the stairs to the room that was kindly provided by Michael and Rachel.
Once he reaches his destination, Matt lays Dom gently on the big double bed, pushing the covers for both.
"But Mattie ... I should not stay here!" Dom finds the strength to protest
"It 's day. And it will be daylight for a long time. And during the day I can keep you with me. And I have every intention of doing it! "Matt murmurs, accompanying every sentence with a little kiss on the blond' s face, slipping under the covers, happy to see the drummer imitate his actions.
"Now let's sleep. It's still so early .. "Matt mumbles, holding Dom to his chest, protectively, wrapping an arm around his waist.
After all, the younger vampire is more than happy to curl up next to his Sire, his hands clutching the hem of his shirt, before falling as deeply asleep as his beloved boyfriend has already done.
/
"You're nuts!" Dominic blurts out, punching Matt on the chest, as soon as he wakes up and makes his mind about where he is and what happened.
"It's not the kind of awakening that I had imagined, but I will get content with this!" Matthew mutters, waking up abruptly and looking at his watch.
It's four o'clock in the afternoon and it seems a more than acceptable time of the day.
"And , tell me, why am I supposed to be a fool?" he questions his Childe, as he rubs his chest and sits down on the bed.
"Why did you stay watching over me all night? You have no idea of what you risked!" explains Dom, drumming his fingers nervously on the mattress. "You shouldn't trust me, not when he's there ..." he mutters, nervous.
"I think I can judge on my own what I can or can't do!" Matt grumbles, not liking where that that topic is leading them.
"You do not understand! You fell asleep so close ... so close that I could easily reach your neck, breaking it, drinking until I would have drained you, or who knows what else! " the blond tries to reason with him, trembling at the thought of those dreadful possibilities.
"It seems that nothing like this has happened. It 's true, you reached me, but only to sleep on my lap. If you wanted to kill me with tenderness, you succeeded! " the brunet smiles, stroking his hair.
Dom parts sharply from him, getting up from the bed.
"Dammit, Bells! You can't always take everything with such light-heartedness! " he growls at him in disappointment. "Probably this time you were lucky because my demon was somehow grateful to you, since you gave him that glass of blood!" Dom looks for a rational explanation, without even realising what he is saying.
But Matt did, so he jumps out of bed, jolting and reaching the drummer in a heartbeat.
"Bloody hell! Dominic, that's exactly what happened yesterday ... and you remember it! "h observes astonished.
"You're right!"
"And do you remember anything else?" the brunet asks him.
The blond concentrates deeply, until something emerges in his memory.
"I do not know, there's nothing clear ... but I remember telling you some things, although I do not remember what... I wanted you to unleash me!" Dominic mutters, making a great effort.
"Yes, baby, it's just like that!" Matt hugs him happy. "I think it's a good sign that you begin to remember something, but we will know for sure asking Michael and Rachel as soon as they wake up." he says.
"It will take at least a couple of hours yet." the percussionist says.
"Yeah ... we have to invent something to spend some time." Matt nods, allusive, indicating that big bed, still so intact, with his eyes.
"I know what to do!" Dom enlightens "I saw that downstairs there is a TV and on on MTV at this time there's a show of bands, many times there is also something that is worth listening to!" he continues with excitement.
"But, Dommie, you have such a terrible taste in music!" the guitarist snorts.
"You're right ... as a matter of fact, I play in your band!" Dom teases the brunet, before running off.
"Come here, you little insolent, you'll pay for this!" Matt growls playfully, chasing him.
They descend downstairs and among several giggles, they merely chase each other along corridors and rooms they don't even know about their existence, but when they come back in the direction of the living room, Matthew manages to track Dominic down and pushes the blond with him on the couch.
"You got me. What is my punishment? "Dom challenges Matt with his eyes, pressed beneath him.
"Kiss me until I leave you breathless!" Matt smiles persuasive, his face close to Dom's.
"I don't think I'll have such a problem!" the blond chuckles.
"That's better!" the brunet grins, before doing what he promised.
They kiss passionately and savagely for what seems like forever.
It's Dominic the first to interrupt, looking at his mate with a melancholy attitude.
"Oh, Matteh, I wish things between us were always like this" he sighs sadly, sitting on the couch.
"Don't fear, they will." his partner ensures the drummer, serious, sitting down next to him.
"And what if it wasn't so? What if my demon had no intention to get a grip? What are the alternatives? To continue to make me have this cloistered existence? " the other grieves.
"Do not overdo.. it will be enough not to allow you to hang around after midnight! "Matt plays down.
"And what am I? A sort of Cinderella in a dark version, which 'd better run away and go back to her castle after midnight? " Dom blurts, and then he stares at his partner and changes his mood utterly. "If it's so, then you are the Fairy Godmother who did this to me!" he bursts out laughing, contaminating even his beloved.
"And you dare to say that I am the one who took things too with too much light-heartedness, right?" Matthew pretends to scold him, but the truth is that he admires his spirit that, despite such a dark moment, still finds the strength to be ironic.
"You are my light-heartedness!" Dom shows a radiant smile, stealing a quick kiss, before turning the TV on.
/
They are engaged to review yet another video projection, Dominic, thrilled, as he lists all the pros and Matthew, intolerant, as he makes a list of faults, when the lights switch on suddenly.
"Finally someone that when you say 'Go ahead, as if you were at home' ... does it for real!" Michael states, approaching them.
As a reflex, Dominic looks for shield behind Matt, tense and restless.
"Am I really so scary?" the oldest vampire chuckles.
"I am sure that sooner or later he will get accustomed to that!" Matt shrugs. "Please, excuse us if we woke you up!"
"It was not you, rather the sunset!" Michael smiles.
"So, puppy, do you feel a little better today?" Rachel whispers, which seems to have appeared out of nowhere, with a voice as sweet as honey, as she strokes Dom's face, which does not shy away from her touch, but he pushes forward and smiles at her, nodding.
"Well, looks like someone is very skilled when it's a matter to sooth people!" the vampiress says with fake arrogance, casting a challenging look to Michael, while she is checking her long, red polished, fingernails.
"Why are you able to calm him down and I'm not?" Michael mutters, not liking that defeat.
"Gran Childe, you must learn not to be afraid of me!" he summons Dom with roaring voice, looking at him sternly.
Dominic nods, trembling and clutching tighter to Matt.
"Oh yes, genius, I think this is the most suitable way not to make him afraid of you!" the pretty brunette mocks her boyfriend.
"Matthew, at least you, teach your Childe to have respect for you, I think I have failed miserably in this task!" Michael mutters, receiving a playful punch on his shoulder by Rachel.
Dominic lets out a small laugh, seeing such a scene.
"Good, that's how I like to see you!" Michael smiles and, for the first time, Dominic does not seem so disturbed.
"Let's move on to more serious things, guys, you can't begin to imagine what I am about to reveal to you!" Matthew announces with a big grin.
"So you can remember some things that happen at night." Michael resumes at the end of their report, looking at Dominic.
"Yes, even if they are only vague images ... is it a good thing?" the blond wonders, encouraged by the smile that the Spanish shows.
"Oh yes, of course it is. It means that, little by little, your demon and your soul are finding the basic for coexistence which will hopefully be as serene as possible! " his Grand Sire informs him.
"Wow, that's great!" Matt cheers. "Dom, maybe tonight you will be a little more malleable!"
/
When you say 'famous last words'.
That night, as soon as the usual metamorphosis triggers and the demon monopolizes the poor Dominic's body, he becomes even ruder and more irritating towards Matt, but now the brunet has found the right key to interact with him.
"Yeah, yeah, that you told me yesterday. And the day before that. You're pretty predictable, you know? "he teases the blond, looking amused.
Dominic lets out a long growl of frustration, yanking his chains with more violence.
This only entertains Matthew even more.
He's been watching over Dom for three hours and he walks away momentarily, returning with a cup filled with blood.
He approaches cautiously to Dominic, which this time proves to be much more docile, accepting the kind offer on the first attempt, drinking greedily until he empties it completely.
"That's not true!" Dom hisses, after the last sip, licking his lips still smeared with the crimson liquid.
"What?" Matthew asks him, placing the cup on the table, trying not to show Dom how that vision has excited him.
"We'll never melt , me and the stupid soul. There will be no coexistence. It will never happen! " the blond perjures acidly, his eyes flashing fluorescent green.
It's another thing that turns Matt on, a lot.
"It's already happening!" the brunet singsongs, approaching the younger vampire without any fear.
"What are you saying?" the other growls.
"Think about it. You're talking about a topic that belongs to before, when you weren't even supposed to be there, right? And as you begin to be weakly present during the day, the soul begins to be already here at night. Soon, or maybe not so soon, I grant you that you will become one thing and then you will find the right balance! "
"Never! It's never gonna happen! I shall have absolute dominion! " the younger vampire insists, wriggling.
"Convince yourself as much as you please!" Matt shrugs, with total indifference, going to the stairs.
Dominic suddenly loses all his fighting spirit.
"Hey, wait ... where are you going?" he sulks.
"Away from you, because you were the one to ask for this!" the expert vampire informs him.
"But ..." the blond protestes weakly.
"I've already feed you and dawn will come soon, you will be tired even before you can realize it!" the brunet goes on. "'Night, Dommie, I'll pick you up in the morning ... when you'll be back!" the pianist waves his farewell.
"Yeah, that's fine, go away. Leave me alone! After all, I do not need anyone, least of all you! " Dominic yells, poisonous, watching him disappear upstairs.
Matthew smiles satisfied, especially when he hears the screams turn into a soft whimper.
-Oh yes, of course, it's the typical attitude to tell me that you do not need me, my dear grumpy demon!-
After all, that one can be considered a small victory.
/
When, as promised, in late morning Matthew goes downstairs to free Dominic, he is already awake and smiling.
"For once, you listened at me. Bravo! " he congratulates once he's free and clings to Matthew, with his arms wrapped around the pianist's neck, while he takes the percussionist to what is now their room, at least temporarily.
"As if I never listened at you!" Matthew snaps, as he lies Dom down on the mattress, before going to bed at his side.
"We won't start a discussion that could last for centuries!" Dom strikes back, lying down on his side.
"Right, let's not start it. Let's sleep, only sleep. Come here, baby," Matt murmurs, pulling Dom to himself and stroking his nape, as the blond leans his head against Matt's chest.
They both fall instantly into a deep sleep without dreams, but mostly without nightmares.
/
It's five o'clock in the afternoon, when Dominic wakes up and the first thing he decides to do is taking possession of Matt's lips, which, although he' s still sleeping placidly, unconsciously responds to the kiss.
Without breaking the contact, Dom places himself more comfortably onto his mate, beginning to stroke his skinny chest, through the cotton T-shirt.
All those delicate attentions make the brunet vampire murmur happily and then he decides to open his eyes and focus on his 'aggressor'.
"Mm. These are the awakening that I like! "he murmurs, deepening the kiss, before being interrupted by the sound of torn fabric.
"Bloody hell, Dom! " Matthew exclaims, stunned, seeing his T-shirt in tatters.
"I'm sorry, but I could not resist, I needed more contact!" the blond justifies.
"Well, but you could ask me to remove it, couldn't you?" the other retorts.
"But it is so much more fun like this, isn't it?" the blond winks, leaning on his beloved's chest to trace it with a long lick, from the navel to his chin and vice versa.
"Bugger my T-shirt!" Matt growls excited, changing roles, with a lightning-fast game of kidneys.
"Do you care about your shirt?" the singer interrogates the drummer.
"Not too much, I bought it in a ..."
The drummer doesn't even need to finish the answer, seeing that poor garment tore apart.
"You're right, it's fun!" Matt chuckles, tracing with delicate kisses every inch of the exposed skin.
"Matthew, I want to make love with you, now!" the blond insitgates him, burying his hands in his messy hair.
"Yep, I guessed so!" the guitarist raises an eyebrow , amused.
"And I want to make it slow, sweet and tender. There is already ... the other one who is so violent!" the blond rolls his eyes.
"Yes, I think we can do that, too!" Matt smiles at the drummer, stroking his soft hair
"Yes, but I do not just want this!" Dom informs him, as he begins to deal with both Matt's belt and his own.
"And what do you want?" Matt asks him, helping to free both from those impediments.
"I want you to do that thing ... what did you call? Claim, right? "Dom mutters , abandoning himself to the brunet's caresses between his legs.
Matthew's eyes flash blue unnatural in surprise.
"Dominic! Are you sure? "
"Like I've never been surer of anything in all my life. Matthew, as soon as there is still time to do it, I want to give my whole self to you: body, soul and blood." the younger vampire whispers, kissing him.
"And I want to do the same thing with you, my love!" the frontman approves.
It 's just a matter of looks, before their boxers, the last remaining obstacle between their bodies, reach the floor.
Just like Dominic' s express request , it's all sweet and slow, unhurried, without a scratch, a bruise, a pinch, while Matt slips inside his lover as gently as possible, extending their mutual ecstasy with every movement.
When they both feel that they are close to reaching the climax, they let emerge simultaneously what is now their true nature and with conviction they sink their fangs into each other's neck, savoring their blood, doubling their pleasure with every sip.
Matthew has never tasted Dom's blood after his rebirth, while Dominic did, but he does not have the memory.
For this reason, it's an unforgettable experience for both of the vampires.
"Mine!" Matthew proclaims, still inside Dom, pulling his fangs and licking the two small punctures to heal them.
"Mine!" Dominic echoes, welcoming the result of their passion inside him, gladly; scarring lovingly with his tongue the two small holes that he practiced on Matt.
They enjoy for a while 'that special moment, in devout silence, embracing each other.
"Can we do it again sometimes?" Dominic wonders, breathing heavily, as soon as he recovers.
"Every time we will have the desire, and I hope that it's very often!" Matthew smiles, exhausted but happy, getting up from the bed.
"Now let's think about putting clothes on. You know, Rachel has been so nice that she offered to go to our house to pick up some of our stuff. " the guitarist informs the drummer, throwing at him one of his shirts while he chooses a long-sleeved T-shirt.
/
"What the hell does 'Could you come back a little later tonight?' mean? I wonder if Matt remembers that he's our guest! " Michael grumbles bothered, in the street with his partner.
"Oh, come on, it will be a long evening of fun hunting together. Did you hear him? Matthew has a plan that he need to set in action with Dominic, away from unwanted viewers. I trust him! " the beautiful brunette vampiress smiles, dragging her beloved in the depths of the night.
************************* (In the meantime)
"You and me alone. And we will for quite a while!" Matthew announces, advancing towards Dominic, which backs off until the chains and the wall allow him to do that.
He looks vaguely shocked and disturbed at the brunet's hand that caresses lasciviously the chest through his shirt.
"What are you doing? Get away from me! I hate you, I hate you, I hate you!" the blond screams as the top of his undead lungs, trying to pull away.
The chuckle that the singer lets out confuses him even more.
"Oh, I know, but it is not your love that I ask for, that will come with time ... and in any case your daytime version pleases me a lot in this!" Matt informs him mockingly, beginning to undo the top buttons of the drummer's shirt.
"You can hardly call myself a fool. I chose to make you wear a shirt because you can easily open it, beyond the fact that you are chained or not. If I dared to damage one of the T-shirt s belonging to the good collection, I'd run up against my partner's true fury, in comparison of which, you, my dear demon, are just a newbie! " Matt giggles, carrying out his task.
"I already told you to stay away from me!" the blond growls in warning.
"You do not want me to stay away. Now I know what you want, what you like, and perhaps I might like it as well! "Matthew informs him with a languid look. "I've realized that with you I've got it all wrong so far. Don't you think that it is much better if I only you demons deal with this situation?"he smiles, changing his features, with his razor-sharp fangs and fluorescent eyes in evidence, allowing his demon to take full control of the situation.
"Sire," Dom lets out a sigh, looking at him with respectful attitude.
"That's right, my Childe, it is time that your Sire takes care of you!" the brunet whispers in his ear, scraping it slightly with his sharp canines, which makes the blond hiss in pleasure.
The blond lets the brunet continue to strip him, until the shirt is completely open, exposing his chest and his abs, and the brunet runs his eager hands on it.
The most inexperienced vampire groans and is carried away by those demanding caresses so much that he does not even seem to notice when even his pants are down to his ankles, as well as the more expert vampire's jeans.
Without a word and with a sharp intake behind him, the brunet makes the blond turn, so that his stomach is pressed against the cold wall.
The Sire bows his head towards his Childe's neck teasing with the point of his teeth his mate's shoulder, which trembles waiting for what the other is promising to him.
And the bite comes, fast and voracious, tasting his blood, without wasting a single drop escape and this has on his Childe the effect of the most elaborate foreplay.
Among pleased groans and murmurs, the Childe bends over, arching his back, in total submission.
There's no need for further preparations. Separating from his shoulder, his Sire places himself behind his back and sinks into his Childe with a single energetic thrust, which makes the younger vampire scream in a mixture of pain and indescribable pleasure, eager to get more.
For the whole duration of their screw, despite all the efforts made by the blond, the brunett does not grant him even a kiss.
It 's only cold, brutal and impersonal sex ... and his Childe could not ask for better.
When the brunet reaches the height of pleasure, he parts from his lover, biting his own wrist and rewarding his Childe with that generous, oozing, crimson offer that the blond does not refuse, of course, savoring the delicious nectar that only his Sire can give him and that it's unique.
Moreover, this can only strengthen their bond even more.
"My little, sweet, creature, if you please me there will be other meetings of this kind, sometimes I'm even going to leave you the dominant position, as you want it. And you know what to do and what not to do to please me!" the brunet asserts aseptic, putting their clothes back on both himself and his mate.
"Yes, Sire." blond just nods.
"Very well, that's enough for tonight!" the brunet proclaims, regaining his human features.
"I think it will not be a problem for you to fall asleep. You look like someone who is very, very tired! " Matthew chuckles, winking at him.
Matthew was not mistaken: in a few minutes, the blond falls asleep.
The frontman watches him from a distance, while he waits for the masters of that house to come back and he doesn't have to wait for too long.
"So, how was it?" Rachel asks him, curious.
"It went fine, I guess. I strengthened the connection I have with my Childe, even when I deal only with his demon ... and I think I can begin to take him out to hunt! " Matthew replies.
"I guess it's a reckless decision. It's still early. "Michael protests.
"No, I have the feeling that it is the right moment. At least let me do one attempt! "Matthew insists, with a determination that ignites his look.
The two older vampires can only agree.
"I cannot believe it, Dom, you're finally ready and I'll show you all the pleasures of a good hunting!" Matthew says joyful, leaving with him after midnight Michael and Rachel's house, which are out to hunt on their own.
"Yeah, I cannot wait for you to teach me all the secrets!" Dominic smiles gently at him.
"Even the most undisclosed ones" the pianist assures.
The drummer continues to smile, getting closer, stroking Matt's cheek with the back of his hand.
"You know, honey, even I cannot believe it ..." he whispers, demanding a kiss that the other doesn't deny to him for sure. "How easy it is to deceive you!" the blond sneers, parting fast from him and giving him a sharp blow on his head, even before Matt has the time to react.
The frontman collapses unconscious to the ground, while Dominic stares at his passed out mate approvingly, breathing deeply the night air saturated with a wonderful feeling: freedom.
TBC
Is it enough if I scream 'TRUST ME? ' *O* No, I guess it's not… *runs away*
Please, notice, during thehottest (and darkest) part of the chapter I deliberately chose not to name them 'Matt' or ' Dom ' , not even once, because in that moment there are only their demons … I just hope it's clear :)
Fell free to tell me everything, please do ..
bye!
